A biographer says Of Mr.. Joel Chandler

he has taken to writing with goose quill

Tho goose is, undoubtedly, . Gno bird,

Those Republican members Of the Legls-
laturo who had /! In mind to vote for
Senator Camden will DO thankful to tho
INTgLLlGEScEn for giving them m oppor.
tunity to feel the pulse Of the party as It
had not been felt before,
So long as 1t seemed That the Republi.
can position wan sale, this peculiar specta.
clio was prevented; petitions from Repub-
licans to their representatives asking them
to support Mr.. Camden were hurried to
Charleston as though Mr.. Camden had
been the nominee OF the Republican eau
Gus, with bolt from that caucus to OBJ
struct his election. Nobody thought it
worth while to protest against thing
which few thought possible until the In
TELLlaEScER gave the news on that phase
Of the subject.
What has happened since then is 80 re-
cant that 1t need not BIO recountcd in de-
tail. Tho protesta have ratified in by tele-
graph and by mail, and they have ap-
psarod in the INrELLloESoER, until that
side Of tho question has been heard as II
has not been heard before.
1t IL easy 10 understand how tho peti.
tions OF Republicans in favor 81 Dir. Cam
dan would make an impression. Some Of
them were very strongly aigned, bearing
names which seemed strangely out Of
place there, and yet their owners had a
right 10 do as they pleased with them.
With these petitions before them-ard no
pro!ests-is 1t very hard to comprehend
that como Republicans, personally pre-.
lering Mr.. Camden, were about to insure
his election? Those gentlemen now have
lights which they did not have before,
and there is reason to believe that they are
giving ear to all that is being said.
With respect for every mana judgment,
tho INrELLlGrNcEE indulges the hope that
the Republican policy 10 we'll begun may
not be abandoned. 1fthe election Of Mr..
Camden would demoralize the Democratic
party, it is worth while to consider how
much mora it would demoralizs the Re-
publican party.
The Republican party is getting along
we'll in West Virginia. 1t has reached a
point where the people Of the State believe
in it as being in tho field to stay, and fur
thermore look upon it rs their only hope
Of escape from the miurulo Of the Dem.
